🚀 Kicking off this year with a milestone at the 11th IHEPA Annual Conference 2024 at FLAME University, Pune! 🚀 This esteemed conference was a remarkable platform where my two research papers were presented. The first, 'Multimorbidity in India,' co-authored with Dr. @PratheebaJohn Ma'am, which I personally presented, explored a pivotal public health issue & its catastrophic nature and sparked engaging dialogues among my peers. The second paper, "Estimating Funds Required for UHC within Indian States," which already published in The Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia co-authored with Dr. @nachiketmor Sir also made its mark, adding a substantial layer to our collaborative research efforts. This conference was not just about presentations but also about the incredible opportunity to meet and interact with luminaries in the field. I had the pleasure of meeting Professor S. V. Subramanian Sir from Harvard University, and Professor Ram B. Bhagat Sir my teacher and Professor (Retd.) at IIPS Mumbai, Dr. Mini Varghese Ma'am, Country Director, Nutrition International along with Dr. Joseph T J Sir Assistant Professor at Central University of Kerala. Their insights added immensely to my learning experience. Moreover, connecting with young and energetic researcher Dr. Divyesh B Mundra @Mundra08 Manager, Access and Health Policy, in Bharat Serums and Vaccines Limited was also very inspiring. Engaging with such diverse and dynamic professionals has broadened my perspective and energized my passion for public health research. The IHEPA conference proved to be a melting pot of innovative ideas and groundbreaking discussions, making it a truly enriching experience. I'm looking forward to more such engaging events and collaborations this year 2024. #IHEPA2024 #PublicHealth #Research @HSTPIndia @CitizenhealthIN #HealthCosting #healthsystems #HealthFinancing #Multimorbidity #conference #Pune #economics #publichealth #UHC #sdgs #JNU @FLAMEUniversity @IIPSMumbai @JNU_official_50 @tatatrusts @BMGFIndia #IHEPA
